1. Receiving a “dormant” message when trying to login.
This usually means that your Online Banking profile has not been accessed in at least 180 days, which caused your Online Banking access to be flagged as dormant.

Once access has been restored, login using your current login ID and password within the next 24 hours to prevent your Online Banking account from going back into dormant status.

If you have forgotten your password, please click the Forgot Password link at the bottom of the password page, answer your security question, and click the link to receive a new password. A temporary password will be delivered to the email address we have on record.

2. After entering your login ID, you are presented with a security question you do not recognize or did not choose. This usually means the login ID has been entered incorrectly. Please double-check your entry, ensure it is spelled correctly and that there are no spaces. (Login IDs are not case-sensitive.)

3. After entering your password, you see: “Some or all of the information you entered is incorrect, your account has been locked or you are logging in from an unauthorized computer. Please try again, or call us if you need assistance.”
This means the password has been entered incorrectly or the account is locked. Please try logging in again with the correct password. Passwords are case-sensitive, so be sure that your Caps Lock is not on and that your NumLock is on if you are using the keypad to enter numbers. Passwords must contain a minimum of eight (8) characters, including letters, at least one (1) number, and at least one (1) special character. If you are not able to log in successfully after three tries, the account is locked. Contact Client Services or call 1-800-757-6305 during regular business hours. You may also contact your local branch.

4. After answering a challenge question, you see: “Some or all of the information you entered is incorrect, your account has been locked or you are logging in from an unauthorized computer. Please try again, or call us if you need assistance.”
This usually means the question was not answered correctly, or the system does not recognize the answer. Please try again. Answers to challenge questions are not case-sensitive; however they are spelling and punctuation sensitive. For example, if you originally answered a question with “St. John’s”, but are now answering it with “Saint Johns”, the system may not recognize that answer. If you are not able to log in successfully after three tries, the account is locked. Contact Client Services or call 1-800-757-6305 during regular business hours. You may also contact your local branch.

This means the system is unable to validate your security cookie, which is usually caused by logging in from an unrecognized computer, or it can mean that the cookie is missing. Contact Client Services or call 1-800-757-6305 during regular business hours. You may also contact your local branch.
